ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0093; FRL-12044-01-OCSPP]
Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations and/or
Amendments To Terminate Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants,
and accepted by the Agency, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows
a May 7, 2024, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel and/or
amend to terminate uses of these product registrations. In the May 7,
2024, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing
the cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses, unless the
Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period
that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the
registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the registrant for product
registration 4-474 withdrew their request for cancellation; therefore,
the registration has been removed from this order. Accordingly, EPA
hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the
requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations and/or amendments are effective July 16, 2024.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the May 7, 2024, Federal Register notice announcing the
Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations and/or
amendments to terminate uses of the products listed in Tables 1 and 2
of Unit II.
[[Page 57892]]
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations and/or amendments to terminate
uses of pesticide registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit
II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the product
registrations identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, are canceled
and/or amended to terminate the affected uses. The effective date of
the cancellations that are subject of this notice is July 16, 2024. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II, in a manner inconsistent with
any of the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth in
Unit VI, will be a violation of FIFRA.
V. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA
Administrator may approve such a request. The notice of receipt for
this action was published for comment in the Federal Register of May 7,
2024 (89 FR 38126) (FRL-11877-01-OCSPP). The comment period closed on
June 6, 2024.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States, and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. The existing stocks provision for the products subject to this
order is as follows.
For: 352-938:
For 352-938, Corteva, the registrant of the product subject to this
cancellation order, did not request that EPA allow the continued sale,
distribution, or use of existing stocks of this product. Additionally,
Corteva confirmed that they ceased selling this product in 2021. Thus,
all sale, distribution, and use of existing stocks of this product is
prohibited, except for the sale or distribution of this product for
export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) and for proper
disposal.
For all other voluntary cancellations listed in Table 1 of Unit II,
the registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of
all other products listed in Table 1 until July 16, 2025, which is 1
year after publication of this cancellation order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing all other products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export in accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for
proper disposal.
Now that EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, registrants are permitted to sell or
distribute products listed in Table 2 of Unit II, under the previously
approved labeling until January 16, 2026, a period of 18 months after
publication of the cancellation order in this Federal Register, unless
other restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products and/or products whose labels
include the terminated uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products and/or terminated uses.
